Bustamante: Do you know who I am? Do you think I'm sexy? No? Let me whip out this tiny Twinkie! Why are you looking away? Look here at my Twinkie, damn you! Michael! Mike Harrah, pay them to look at my Twinkie!

For most observers, the picture of the sensational, July 2 arrest of Santa Ana City Councilman Carlos Bustamante on a sticky glob of alarming sex crimes wasn't necessary revealing.

In the shot, a handcuffed Bustamante looks directly into the camera of a photographer as if he's angry or frustrated or desirous of additional taxpayer-funded ejaculation when he was taken into custody.

But the picture--taken after the Republican councilman ate lunch with Santa Ana City Manager Paul Walters--contains potent information.

And it's probably not good news for Bustamante, who is accused of forcing county employees to watch him masturbate at work.

The law enforcement officer holding Bustamante's arm in the photo is Damon Tucker, a veteran investigator with the Orange County District Attorney's office.

R. Scott Moxley’s award-winning investigative journalism has touched nerves for two decades. An angry congressman threatened to break Moxley’s knee caps. A dirty sheriff promised his critical reporting was irrelevant and then landed in prison. Corporate crooks won’t take his calls. Murderous gangsters mad-dogged him in court. The U.S. House of Representatives debated his work. Pusillanimous cops have left hostile messages using fake names. Federal prosecutors credited his stories for the arrest of a doctor who sold fake medicine to dying patients. And a frantic state legislator literally caught sleeping with lobbyists sprinted down state capital hallways to evade his questions in Sacramento.
